Marcus Rashford transfer to Barcelona ‘unlocked’ as sacrifice of ‘gifted’ star paves way for Man Utd exit
Manchester United are nearing the end of their search for a way out of Marcus Rashford's contract, after Barcelona made it easier for them to secure the signature of one of their top young prospects by initiating talks over the sale of that player. Meanwhile, Rashford swiftly responded to the fierce criticism he endured at the hands of Ruben Amorim on Sunday.
For the advancement of his professional status.
Finding a new home for the 60-capped English football star has proven more difficult than anticipated, with Manchester United's stipulations on a deal, coupled with his substantial wages, posing challenges for some would-be suitors.
His brother and agent Dwaine Maynard has held talks with multiple high-profile clubs, including AC Milan, Juventus, Marseille, Monaco, and Borussia Dortmund, who have all been in discussions over a potential transfer deal.
Potential transfer talks have been opened by sporting director Deco.
To be honest, Barcelona are at a disadvantage due to some well-documented financial problems, which may lead them to get resourceful with their finances in order to make a move.
Barcelona have made a major stride towards financing Marcus Rashford's transfer by completing negotiations with Al-Ittihad to offload 20-year-old midfielder Unai Hernandez.
One of their 'most technically gifted and versatile attackers' is on the verge of completing a move to Saudi Arabia. Having got the green light for the transfer, the player is anticipated to seal a very lucrative contract in the coming days.
And his sale, estimated to raise around £4.2m, will give Barcelona the opportunity to secure Rashford's transfer, following their agreement to cover 50% of his wages in a loan deal until the end of the season.
Barcelona confident of deal for top-chance target as they respond to Amorim's provocation
Barcelona have yet to finalise the details of the proposed deal and our sources, who first disclosed United's intention to sell Rashford in 2025 last autumn, maintain that Oldham officials remain adamant that any loan agreement for Rashford must include an obligation for purchase.
As things currently stand, Barcelona would rather incorporate a clause to make it a permanent deal, to see how the player fits in with the Spanish team and their style of play, before permanently changing the attacker's circumstances and adapting to their new football way.
However, with United resolute in their decision to offload the player, even for now, there looks to be a sense of encouragement from a Barcelona perspective that the Red Devils will lighten up on their stance and agree to a compromise, as they endeavour to offload a player Sir Jim Ratcliffe has already deemed unsuitable for their 'cultural regeneration'.
It's evident that manager Ruben Amorim has little faith in Marcus Rashford being able to return to prominence at Old Trafford.
Having maintained a series of diplomatic answers when questioned about Rashford's ongoing exclusion from the matchday squad, Amorim finally lost his composure on Sunday and gave a candid response, famously admitting he would prefer to choose the club's 63-year-old goalkeeper coach ahead of the player.
Speaking after United laboured to a 1-0 victory over Fulham on Sunday evening, Amorim was questioned once more about the player's non appearance.
It's always the same reason, really.
When questioned regarding his motivations, he responded, "The reason is the training. The reason is what I believe a footballer should do in training and in life. If things don't change, I won't change."
It's the same situation for every individual on the team. If you put in the maximum effort and do the right things, I believe everyone has potential for use.
And today, sitting on the bench, we lacked a bit of pace to make a significant impact. Moving Jorge on to the pitch is the priority over introducing a player who doesn't give their best. I wouldn't make a change just for the sake of making one in that position.
To send a five-word message to his teammates after their 1-0 win at Craven Cottage.
Great job to you all, that's a fantastic victory.
Manchester United transfer update: Dorgu hopes rise; Casemiro sale near
Meanwhile, Manchester United is growing increasingly optimistic that a deal for Patrick Dorgu can be concluded before the transfer window closes, amid reports of a third offer being tabled and that his side Lecce are willing to negotiate their demands for the Denmark international.

A 32-year-old player has failed to appear on the football pitch for Manchester United in 2023 and has slipped to a lower priority in the team manager's selection, falling behind 21-year-old Toby Collyer in the rankings.
